Benzoxazine and benzothiazine derivatives and their use in pharmaceuticals

ABSTRACT

Described are benzoxazine and benzothiazine compounds of the formula I defined herein, methods for their preparation and methods for their use in pharmaceuticals based on their activity as NO-synthases (NOS) inhibitors.

The invention relates to benzoxazine and benzothiazine derivatives, the process for their production and their use in pharmaceutical agents.

In human cells, there exist 3 specific forms of nitrogen monoxide synthases, which convert arginine into nitrogen monoxide (NO) and citrulline. Two constitutive NO-synthases (NOS) were identified that are present as Ca⁺⁺/calmodulin-dependent enzymes in the brain (ncNOS or NOS 1) or in the endothelium (ecNOS or NOS 3). The third isoform is the inducible NOS (iNOS or NOS 2), which is a Ca⁺⁺-independent enzyme and is induced after activation of different cells by endotoxin.

NOS-inhibitors and especially specific inhibitors of NOS 1, NOS 2 or NOS 3 are therefore suitable for treatment of different diseases, which are induced or aggravated by pathological concentrations of NO in cells (Clin. Neuropharmac. 18, 1995, page 482).

As NOS-inhibitors, different compounds are known. For example, cyclic amidine derivatives are described in WO 96/14844. It is not known from any publication, however, that benzoxazines or benzothiazines inhibit nitrogen monoxide synthases.

The invention also relates to the use of the compounds according to the invention for the production of a pharmaceutical agent for treating diseases, which are induced by the action of nitrogen monoxide at pathological concentrations. These include neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory diseases, auto-immune diseases, and cardiovascular diseases.

For example, there can be mentioned: cerebral ischemia, hypoxia and other neurodegenerative diseases, which are brought into contact with inflammations, such as multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and comparable sclerotic diseases, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, Korksakoff's Disease, epilepsy, vomiting, stress, sleep disorders, schizophrenia, depression, migraine, hypoglycemia, dementia, such as, e.g., Alzheimer's Disease, HIV-dementia and presenile dementia.

They are also suitable for treating diseases of the cardiovascular system and for treating auto-immune and/or inflammatory diseases, such as hypotension, ARDS (adult respiratory distress syndrome), sepsis or septic shock, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), inflammatory disease of the pelvis/intestine (bowel disease), meningitis, glomerulonephritis, acute and chronic liver diseases, diseases by rejection (for example allogenic heart, kidney or liver transplants) or inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, etc. Based on their profile of action, the compounds according to the invention are very well suited for inhibiting the neuronal NOS.

To use the compounds according to the invention as pharmaceutical agents, they are brought into the form of a pharmaceutical preparation, which in addition to the active ingredient contains vehicles, adjuvants and/or additives that are suitable for enteral or parenteral administration. The administration can be done orally or sublingually as a solid in the form of capsules or tablets or as a liquid in the form of solutions, suspensions, elixirs, aerosols or emulsions or rectally in the form of suppositories or in the form of injection solutions that can also optionally be used subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously, or topically or intrathecally. As adjuvants for the desired pharmaceutical agent formulation, the inert organic and inorganic support media that are known to one skilled in the art are suitable, such as, e.g., water, gelatin, gum arabic, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc, plant oils, polyalkylene glycols, etc. Moreover, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers or salts for changing the osmotic pressure or buffers can optionally be contained.

For parenteral administration, especially injection solutions or suspensions, especially aqueous solutions of the active compounds in polyhydroxyethylated castor oil, are suitable.

As vehicle systems, surface-active adjuvants such as salts of bile acids or animal or plant phospholipids, but also mixtures thereof as well as liposomes or their components can be used.

For oral administration, especially tablets, coated tablets or capsules with talc and/or hydrocarbon vehicles or binders, such as, for example, lactose, corn or potato starch, are suitable. The administration can also be done in liquid form, such as, for example, as a juice, to which optionally a sweetener is added.

The dosage of the active ingredient can vary depending on method of administration, age and weight of the patient, type and severity of the disease that is to be treated and similar factors. The daily dose is 1-2000 mg, preferably 20-500 mg, whereby the dose can be given as an individual dose to be administered one time or divided into 2 or more daily doses.

The NOS-inhibitory action of the compounds of Formula I and their physiologically compatible salts can be determined according to the methods by Bredt and Snyder in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (1989) 86, 9030-9033.

The production of the compounds according to the invention is carried out in that

a compound of formula II or its salt

 in which

R¹, R², R³, R⁵, R⁶ and X have the above-mentioned meaning, Z is oxygen or sulfur and R means C₁₋₆ alkyl, is reacted with ammonia or primary or secondary amines, whereby existing primary and secondary amino groups are optionally intermediately protected and optionally then acylated, the isomers are separated or the salts are formed.

The reaction with ammonia is possible under pressure in autoclaves with excess ammonia at low temperatures (−78° C.) or by stirring in methanol that is saturated with ammonia at room temperature. Thiolactams are preferably reacted. If the reaction is with amines, first the iminoethers or iminothioethers are produced from lactam or thiolactam as intermediate compounds (e.g., with methyl iodide or methyl sulfate), and the latter are reacted with or without isolation of the intermediate compounds with the corresponding amines or their salts.

As amino protective groups, for example, carbamates, such as tert-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl or acetyl, are suitable.

In the precursor stages, optionally sulfides are oxidized, esters are saponified, acids are esterified, hydroxy groups are etherified or acylated, amines are acylated, alkylated, diazotized, halogenated, NO₂ is introduced or reduced, reacted with isocyanates or isothiocyanates, the isomers are separated or the salts are formed.

The saponification of an ester group can be done basically or acidically by hydrolysis being performed at room temperature or at an elevated temperature up to boiling temperature of the reaction mixture in the presence of alkali hydroxides in ethanol or other alcohols or with use of acids, such as, e.g., hydrochloric acid, and optionally salts of aminobenzoxazines or -thiazines being further processed.

The esterification of carboxylic acid is done in a way that is known in the art with diazomethane or the corresponding alcohol in acid or in the presence of an activated acid derivative. As activated acid derivatives, for example, acid chloride, acid imidazolide or acid anhydride are suitable.

The reduction of an ester group to alcohol is carried out in a way that is known in the art with DiBAH in suitable solvents at low temperatures. The reductive amination of benzaldehyde with amine while adding boron hydride provides benzylic amines.

In addition, a nitro group or halogen, especially bromine, can be introduced by electrophilic, aromatic substitution. Mixtures that are produced in this case can be separated in the usual way, also using HPLC. If a nitrile is present, the latter can be saponified according to known processes or can be converted into the corresponding amine, tetrazole or amidoxime, or it is converted into a substituted amidine by attacking substituted anilines or amines.

The Friedel-Crafts acylation is used successfully in lactams of type IIa, and then the lactam can be converted selectively into the thiolactam.

The reduction of the nitro group or optionally the cyano group to the amino group is carried out catalytically in polar solvents at room temperature or at an elevated temperature under hydrogen pressure. As catalysts, metals such as Raney nickel or noble metal catalysts such as palladium or platinum optionally in the presence of barium sulfate or on vehicles are suitable. Instead of hydrogen, ammonium formate or formic acid can also be used in a known way. Reducing agents such as tin(II) chloride or titanium(III) chloride can also be used, such as complex metal hydrides optionally in the presence of heavy metal salts. The ester group can be advantageously introduced before the reduction. For nitro groups, the reduction with zinc or iron in acetic acid has proven its value.

If a single or multiple alkylation of an amino group or a CH-acid carbon position is desired, alkylation can be performed with, for example, alkyl halides according to commonly used methods. Protection of the lactam group as an anion by a second equivalent base or by a suitable protective group optionally is necessary.

The acylation of the amino group is carried out in the usual way with, for example, an acid halide or acid anhydride, optionally in the presence of a base.

The introduction of the halogens chlorine, bromine or iodine via the amino group can also be carried out, for example, according to Sandmeyer, by the diazonium salts that are formed intermediately with nitrites being reacted with Cu(I) chloride or Cu(I) bromide in the presence of the corresponding acids such as hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid or being reacted with potassium iodide.

Benzyl alcohols can be converted into corresponding benzyl halides as usual with methanesulfonyl chloride.

The introduction of an NO₂ group is possible by a number of known nitration methods. For example, nitration can be performed with nitrates or with nitronium tetrafluoroborate in inert solvents, such as halogenated hydrocarbons or in sulfolane or glacial acetic acid. Introduction by, e.g., nitrating acid in water or concentrated sulfur acid as a solvent is also possible at temperatures of between −10° C. and 30° C.

The isomer mixtures can be separated into enantiomers or E/Z-isomers according to commonly used methods, such as, for example, crystallization, chromatography or salt formation. The enantiomers can also be obtained by chromatography on chiral phases as well as by stereoselective syntheses.

The production of the salts is carried out in the usual way, by a solution of the compound of Formula I being mixed with the equivalent amount of acid or excess acid, which optionally is in solution, and the precipitate being separated or the solution being worked up in the usual way.

If the production of the starting compounds is not described, the latter are known and commercially available or can be produced analogously to known compounds or according to processes that are described here.

Nucleophilic substitution of benzyl halides with secondary amines yields the corresponding benzylamines.

Thiolactams of Formula IIa (Z=S) are obtained from, for example, lactams with phosphorus pentasulfide (P₄S₁₀) or Lawesson's reagent (2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiaphosphetane-2,4-disulfide) in suitable solvents, and compounds of Formula IIb can be obtained by, for example, reaction with Meerwein reagent (trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate).

The production of the compounds of Formula IIa can be done, for example, in that a compound of Formula III

in which R¹ to R³ have the above-mentioned meaning, is reacted with a compound of Formula IV

in which R⁵ and R⁶ have the above-mentioned meaning, and Y is a reactive carboxyl group such as acid halide, nitrile, carboxylic acid ester, and optionally is reductively cyclized, or in that a compound of Formula V

is reductively cyclized.

Aromatic thiols of type III are obtained, i.a., as described in Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1991, 39, 2888 and the literature that is mentioned there by rearrangement of the corresponding dimethylaminothiocarbamates.

The introduction of substituents R¹ to R³ can be carried out in the stage of the compounds of Formula III or II.

For the production of compounds of Formula II with R¹ in the meaning of an alkyl radical that is substituted with NR^(7′)R^(8′) or if R¹ and R² together mean a ring that is substituted with NR^(7′)R^(8′), the aldehyde or the ketone of the corresponding 1,4-benzoxazine-3-thione or 1,4-benzothiazine-3-thione can be reductively aminated. If the introduction of a heteroaryl radical NR^(7′)R^(8′) is desired, the corresponding halogen derivative can be substituted nucleophilically. If a primary or secondary amino group is present, it can be advantageous to protect the latter intermediately, for example by introduction of a tert-butoxycarbonyl group, which is usually cleaved according to the amidine formation.

New compounds were identified by one or more of the following methods: melting point, mass spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). NMR spectra were measured with a Bruker 300 MHz device; the (deuterated) solvents were respectively indicated and abbreviated as follows: CDCl₃ (chloroform), DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). Alterations are indicated in delta and ppm. br means broad signal; m means multiplet, several signals; s means singlet; d means doublet; dd means double doublet, etc.; tr means triplet; q means quartet; H means hydrogen protons; J means coupling constant. In addition, THF means tetrahydrofuran; DMF means N,N-dimethylformamide; MeOH means methanol; EE means ethyl acetate; ml means milliliter; RT means room temperature. All solvents are p.A. grade, unless otherwise indicated. All reactions are carried out under a cover gas, unless these are aqueous solutions. Melting points are indicated in degrees Celsius and are not corrected.

The invention also relates to the compounds of Formula IIa, in which R³, R⁵, R⁶, X and Z have the above-described meaning, and R¹ and R² together with two adjacent carbon atoms form a 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-membered ring, in which A means a saturated or unsaturated C₃₋₈ alkylene radical, in which 1 or 2 CH₂ groups can be replaced by carbonyl or its derivative. They are valuable intermediate compounds for the production of pharmacologically active compounds. The conversion of intermediate products into active substances is carried out according to the above-described processes.
